Why do I have trouble swallowing and throat pain?
I am having difficulty swallowing and pain in my throat. Has been going on for months. It has been getting worse

Answered on 7th Mar '25
Difficulty in swallowing coupled with throat discomfort can stem from various causes, including inflammation, allergies, or infections. Over time, these issues can intensify. It’s crucial to stay hydrated and consider soft foods while minimizing irritants like spicy or acidic items. However, given that this has persisted for months, I strongly recommend reaching out to a gastroenterologist. They can perform necessary evaluations to determine the underlying factors and suggest appropriate treatment.

Iam suffering from irritable bowl syndrome
Female | 17
Many people get irritable bowel syndrome, also called IBS. It can make your stomach hurt and cause bloating, loose stool, or hard stool. Things like stress or certain foods might worsen it. Eating smaller meals could assist. Avoiding foods that trigger it, such as spicy items, can be beneficial too. Managing stress helps a lot of people. Drinking lots of water daily and keeping active may ease symptoms for some people.

High blood presure and cough.. Acidity
Female | 70
High blood pressure combined with a cough that tastes acidic could signify acid reflux. The stomach acid travels upward, entering the food pipe, resulting in a burning sensation. Acid reflux can trigger coughing and exacerbate high blood pressure. To alleviate symptoms, avoid spicy and fatty foods. Consume smaller meals. Refrain from eating too close to bedtime. If necessary, your doctor may prescribe medication to reduce acidity.

I’ve been having light brown poo along with a type 6 on the Bristol stool chart for more than a week. My stool is also floating. Lastly for around the same time when I need to go to the toilet it’s a matter of urgency when it’s never been like that in my whole life. And another thing is that when I have done a poo I feel like I need to go again as I don’t feel I have emptied it completely
Female | 18
Your bowel movements may have altered. Light brown floating poop and sudden urges to go could occur. Not feeling empty after pooping may happen too. Diet shifts, infections, and digestive problems could cause this. Drink more water to help. Eat fiber-rich fruits and veggies. Consult a gastroenterologist if issues persist.

Pregnancy can cause hormonal changes that may contribute to severe constipation, especially when combined with anemia. The feelings of fullness and lower abdominal discomfort indicate the need for further evaluation. While you’ve tried several methods, it’s crucial to consult your gynecologist for tailored treatment options. They may suggest changes in medication or additional tests to rule out other issues. In the meantime, gentle movements, warm baths, and a balanced diet can help alleviate some discomfort.

You might be experiencing gas buildup in your belly, which can cause loud noises and a feeling of extra weight. The pain could also be related to issues with your belly button, and attempts to fix it might have made things worse. Gentle exercises and warm beverages can help move the gas out. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it’s best to consult a gastroenterologist for appropriate care.

I am having abdominal pain near naval area. Also feeling bloated after eating anything Unable to release gas. Tried all possible positions to release gases.
Female | 39
Experiencing discomfort near the navel accompanied by bloating can be indicative of various factors, such as indigestion, gas retention, or dietary sensitivities. Maintaining a diet low in gas-producing foods, staying hydrated, and engaging in light walks may help ease symptoms. Over-the-counter medications, like simethicone, can assist in relieving gas accumulation. However, if the pain persists, worsens, or is accompanied by other concerning symptoms, it is essential to consult a gastroenterologist for personalized assessment and guidance. Your well-being is important, and seeking professional advice can provide clarity and reassurance.

Female | 51
The bacteria might be causing inflammation leading to chest pain, back pain, or discomfort in the upper left part of your tummy. Additionally, pelvic and bellyache could also result from the accumulation of gas which causes bloating as well. To reduce these signs follow the doctor’s prescription on how to deal with H.pylori. In addition, take small meals more frequently; avoid foods that make you gassy, and keep drinking water.

Is it normal to be experiencing tummy aches every time I eat 3 weeks after having food poisoning?
Female | 32
It's usual for people to experience stomach discomfort after food poisoning. The digestive system remains delicate. Stomach aches following meals could indicate inflammation or irritation in the stomach or intestines. Smaller portions and avoiding spicy or fatty foods are advisable. Staying hydrated and consuming gentle foods like bananas and rice is recommended. However, if symptoms persist, it's crucial to consult a gastroenterologist.

I have such a stomach ache in the morning. Like loose motion. I have gastritis too. Met an OPD doctor earlier. Then they gave me medicine to drink. Domperidone Bifilac Pantaprazole (Omeprazole) Gaviscon No recovery yet
Male | 18
A tummy ache and diarrhea can be quite uncomfortable, and gastritis can make it worse. Gastritis is when the stomach lining gets irritated, causing pain. The medicine you have should help, but it may take time. In the meantime, drink plenty of water and stick to bland, easy-to-digest foods. Rest, and if it still bothers you, visit a gastroenterologist.

Male | 21
Dealing with stomach troubles for two months can be tough, but the good news is that your tests are all clear! However, your ongoing pain and gas might still be caused by gastritis, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), or even anxiety. Gas buildup can make things uncomfortable, so it's a good idea to watch your diet—avoid gassy foods like beans, fizzy drinks, and dairy for now. Exercise can also help relieve gas discomfort. Don't forget to manage stress, as anxiety can worsen stomach issues. Try relaxation techniques like deep breathing and meditation. If these changes don't help, it's best to revisit your gastroenterologist.

Stomach pains after eating. Pre cancerous cells in cervix. Pcos Dull, cramping, aching
Female | 25
Do you experience dull, cramping, or achy feelings after meals? Those sensations might be indigestion or gas troubles. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), prevalent in women, can also bring stomach discomfort. But abnormal cervical cells usually don't directly impact belly pains. To ease post-meal woes, eat smaller portions more frequently. Avoid greasy, spicy foods too. Stay hydrated. If pains increase or persist, seek medical advice from a gynecologist promptly.

I am aged 22 ..l have been having stomach pains and cramps with a yellow discharge..after days after l took benzathine for my tensils .what might be the cause ?and what should l take to stop the problem?
Female | 22
These could be symptoms of a bacterial infection in your stomach. Sometimes, the use of antibiotics such as benzathine can deplete the good bacteria in the stomach, which may result in those symptoms. To eliminate the problem, you should consider ingesting only plain, easily digestible foods such as rice and toast. In addition, make sure you drink enough water to keep yourself hydrated. If the symptoms don't go away, it's a good idea to visit a gastroenterologist for more tests and treatment.

I'm very scared of surgery, can u please tell in my condition, is surgery a must or it can be made okay by self care. Please help me
Male | 21
You are experiencing a recurrence of hemorrhoids, which can occur due to straining during bowel movements or dietary factors. Your symptoms of bleeding and discomfort are concerning but can often improve with self-care measures. Maintaining a high-fiber diet, staying well-hydrated, and using over-the-counter topical treatments may provide relief. However, if the bulge and discomfort persist or worsen, it's essential to consult a gastroenterologist to explore further options. Surgery is usually not the first line of treatment.
